The team and the organization
AXA Group Operations built a Content Management Platform dedicated to AXA entities as a replacement for legacy platforms. The platform called Content Management eXperience (CMX) provides REST APIs and a Graphical User Interface in a Software As A Service model. CMX is operated by teams located in France (Paris, Feature and Roll-out Teams) and Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur, Operations team).
The Product Team is organized into 3 main activities : Product Development, Roll-out Management, and Operations Management.
This job post targets a Product Owner position in the CMX organization . Reporting to the Product Manager, the Product Owner oversees the development roadmap of one of the CMX platform products (CMX Content Navigation) and its consistency towards expectations expressed by client entities on both functional and non-functional design patterns. This role is Global.
Main issues
- The platform CMX is getting traction from the group and delivery capabilities are stretched by roll-out activities. Project Development teams need reinforcements to ensure the product roadmap will be delivered as promised while onboarding new entities goes on.
- CMX Product needs to be rolled out to new regions, inducing major changes in the service offered to entities (new features or versions expected, SLA extension to NAR / LATAM regions, new Follow-the-Sun capabilities, new cross-region DR capability, etc.).
